About
Dr. Ashwani Kumar Sharma is a pioneering robotic surgeon whose work centers on expanding the applications of minimally invasive techniques in head and neck oncology and urology. His most impactful research focuses on transoral robotic surgery (TORS) for challenging cancers, particularly his landmark prospective study on HPV-negative supraglottic carcinoma (12 citations), which provided critical evidence for TORS's oncological safety in this aggressive disease. Dr. Sharma has also advanced salvage surgical strategies, demonstrating the feasibility of robotic retropharyngeal node dissection (9 citations) for recurrent disease. Beyond the head and neck, he has innovated in urologic robotics, including a novel technique using preoperative fiducial coils to guide laparoscopic excision of retroperitoneal metastases (5 citations) and a case series on robotic management of post-renal transplant ureteral complications (2 citations). His work on robotic hemithyroidectomy via transaxillary and retroauricular approaches (2 citations) further showcases his commitment to scarless, patient-centered surgery. With a career spanning high-impact prospective studies and rare case reports, Dr. Sharma is a leading voice in defining the future of robotic surgery for complex oncologic and reconstructive challenges.
